Summer 2012

Hi Scott, Jackie and Rainysha,

May 14, 2012 is your last work day of Spring 2012 in the Library.  You need to go through all paper work with Finacial Aid and get a referral for me to sign. Once the form is signed, you should be able to work this summer starting July 2, 2012.

Thank you,

Lan

Attention!

Student Workers,
We have some concerns for you. If these problems continue without improvement, I am afraid that next semster you might not be re-hired or your hours might be reduced.

Please pay attention to the following -

• Remembering to do the checklist when you first get to work.
• Checking “notebook” every time you work.
• Not having lengthy conversations at the front desk.
• Checking with a staff member before you leave the desk to shelve.
• Making sure you use the public passwords in NUMERICAL order. We noticed that the 2 last passwords were missing and not accounted for on the list.
• Calling in when they are not coming to work. Please remember that you need to make every effort to report to work. The Library counts on you for its daily operation.

Fri and Sat: shut down PCs

Update to closing procedures:

• Student PCs:
• Leave on Mon-Thurs (but logout any computers where a user is signed-in)
• Shut-down Fri and Sat
• Macs: don't bother shutting down; they have an automatic sleep mode

Oasis (Vet) Center Procedures

The hours and student worker schedule are posted on the door.  If a vet wants to go into the Center and it is locked, the sign tells them to contact Peter Galgano at x5797 or cell 860.604.7258 and not expect us to open it.  JIH

CDs

We do not store CDs like DVDs; with CDs, the discs are kept in the case. So:

• When checking-out and checking-in, make sure all of the discs are in the case.
• Be careful with MP3 CDs - they come in cases that look like DVDs, but on the call number they are labeled "MP3CD." These should be handled like other CDs -- keep the discs in the case. Also, there should be a slip of paper inside the case about downloading; if you notice this is missing, please notify Joy.

Thanks,
Tamara

DVD Titled Red

There are two DVDs with the title of 'Red'  - one is an action film starring Bruce Willis; the other is a foreign film.  Please be careful when you give the DVD to a patron - the last two patrons have been given the wrong DVD.  The Bruce Willis is clearly labeled "Bruce Willis stars" and is called Red - Special Edition.  The foreign film is labeled foreign film.  Both get filed under 'R' so care is needed.  Thank you.  JH 2/15/12

Checking-in items

When checking-in (discharging) items, be sure the item appears in the Discharge screen. NOTE: The barcode scanner will beep regardless of whether Voyager actually checks in the item! You have to look at the screen, not rely on the scanner sound. We've had some problems with items not being checked in properly and people being billed for items they returned.

Thanks,
Tamara
